THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER, BY THE AUTHOR OF UNLEASHED
Ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson takes on Winston Churchill – a biography like no other. In this writing, he explores the elements that make up the “Churchill Factor” – the unique genius of one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. Along with myths and misconceptions, he portrays – with characteristic humor and passion – a man full of contradictions, bravery, impressive rhetoric, unparalleled strategic skills, and deep humanity.
Churchill was fearless in battle, despite being ordered by the King to stay out of action on D-Day. He embraced major strategic bombings but hated the devastation of war and condemned politicians who had not experienced its horrors. He was an acclaimed journalist, an outstanding orator, and a Nobel Prize winner in Literature. He was renowned for his ability to combine focus and fun, with many late nights of fundamental war-related decisions.
His open-minded stance made him a pioneer in healthcare, education, and social welfare, even though he remained unapologetically politically incorrect. Published in association with Churchill Heritage, The Churchill Factor is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what makes a great leader in times of crisis.
